In reality, people won’t pay for things they say they will; it’s cheap rhetoric to try to get maintainers to add their niche feature.

Nice idea though, maybe add some more data sources to increase confidence in data (and hopefully prove me wrong).

Isn't that what mechanical turk and so on are for?

Curious -- how would you use mechanical turk for this?

A pre-order for a basic web-scraper... you're joking, right?

I doubt people will pay for willpayforthis.com. They could just type "will pay" into Xitter search themselves.

15 preorders in the last few weeks! The product will be much more than just an advanced search.

I think people who want to view ideas should pay instead of people who submit ideas.

I would make paid voting.

10$/10€ 10£ and enough hassle to show real interest.

I’m surprised to see the previous six comments being negative.

There’s nothing wrong with building a simple, potentially useful service and charging for it upfront.

This is actually a great example of how you should test such ideas.

Congratulations - and the market validation journey has just begun. Cheers!

I'm one of the negative comments. It's just how it comes off. Putting on the front of the site that this will find you "market-validated ideas" just rubs me the wrong way.

Thank you for saying that

It’s not really a Show HN. Or is there a way I can use this without paying?
